Help Defeat Cap and Trade: Please Sign Up Now for the North Carolina Energy Forum

Even during this busy holiday season, our work continues in the pursuit of "Lower Taxes, Less Government, and More Freedom"!

Our intelligence tells us that the Cap and Trade issue will resurface in force in January and February of 2010. Thankfully, there are numerouse organizations working together to oppose this egregious proposal.

The North Carolina Energy Forum is one such group. They are working to build a database of citizens opposed to Cap and Trade. Just as we use our database, they plan to contact citizens with important updates and action alerts. They are even offering a little holiday shopping incentive.

Citizens who visit the their website and sign up by close of business on Friday, December 4 will be eligible in the drawing of a $100.00 Walmart gift certificate!

Americans already face a $1.8 trillion regulatory burden. These heavy costs are passed on by businesses to consumers, who spend almost a quarter of their annual income complying with regulations often approved executive-level agencies, which have effectively become the fourth branch of the federal government.

American Energy to the Rescue
Americans want a robust economy with upper mobility. Increasingly, they realize the policies and the arrogance of Obama, Pelosi, and Reid have severely retarded our economic growth.

It is fairly common knowledge by now that most people aren’t happy with the Common Core education standards that state and federal governments are trying to ram down their throats. From needlessly convoluted math problems to anti-American history curricula, Common Core makes education a maddening chore for students, parents, and teachers alike.

There's another round of health insurance policy cancellations coming, and the timing is more than a little awkward for vulnerable Senate Democrats, including Mark Begich (D-AK) and Kay Hagan (D-NC), who will learn their electoral fate next month.
